    A good firewall to go with NOD32?

    Hey,

    I'm binning my Norton subscription this year so i can boot up my pc in under 5 minutes (seriously, i have 2gb of ram and that sucks big time).

    I'm going to get NOD32 since everyone is raving about it, i just need a firewall to go with - i was thinking Outpost, but any other suggestions?

    Windows Firewall & a NAT Router - You'll be fine...

    Seriously, if you're behind a NAT and are sensible, then you should be fine

    Ok cool

    My linksys router has a built in, so it should be fine - i just like the ability to block programs from accessing the net, that sort of stuff.

    Indeed, HW firewall's def better, but Sygate works pretty well with Nod if you have to go software
